I have been mulling this over since last summer. I find the "official" subreddit for each gig app is extremely toxic and negative with little useful or productive discussion relevant to working here.

The focus would be Bellingham/Whatcom County/NW Washington. Tips/tricks, advice/support on transitioning out of gig work, car advice, safety advice, general moral support, labor organizing, etc.

Ranting/venting would be politely re-directed to those "official subs".

It was powerful and I would love to show it to people who weren’t there.

Thank you!

Hi! I just found out that 10 acres between the bottom of bobs and boot dryer by Alvarado Drive was sold on March 21st for $500. Does anyone know who bought the land? I can’t find it on the County Assessors office website. Thx!!!

Edit: $500k

Hi everyone my friend and I are looking for a SUPER beginner hike for tomorrow (like extremely beginner, maybe no more than 2-3 miles round trip with very little incline, like something you’d recommend to your grandma) with somewhere to jump in some water and swim. I know the weather is not jump in the water friendly but my nervous system is in need of a nice reset lol. Somewhere where the water (river, lake, etc.) maybe isn’t super public and the trail is nice and woody! TIA!!

Hello hamsters! Last year I got back into fishing doing some bass fishing with my buddy. I'm wondering what the saltwater scene is like around here if you don't have a boat? Is there anything that you can keep to eat? What does a basic setup look like?

Longtime lurker. I live near where the ICE raid happened on Mt. Baker Roofing. I saw this helicopter hovering around the time of the raid. I thought it was funny so looked it up on flightradar24 and it wasn't listed. I now believe this is an ICE Helicopter. I guess if you see this around there is a good chance a raid is going on/going to happen. Stay safe all!

Countless women have come to me to share their story thank me for outting a predator in the Whatcom county area and the MODS continue to take my post down. So the MODS ARE COMPLACENT WITH SEXUAL PREDATORS AND ARE OKAY IF THEIR DAUGHTERS AND THEIR FRIENDS ARE BEING HUNTED BY A SEXUAL PREDATOR.

THATS who is moderating this hellscape.

Hopefully I'm allowed to post this here. Not looking for any kind of offers or anything against the rules so please do not message me about that.

I like documenting/photographing local plants and fungi and this is one of the species I still have left on my list to check off finding, just wondering if I'll need to head south towards Seattle to find any because there are no finds listed on iNaturalist for this area.

Can anyone confirm if ovoids (Psilocybe ovoideocystada) do or do not grow in Whatcom County?

Thanks!

short notice, I know...

I have 2 tickets for the show tonight: opener is a 80's review and main show is a hair band tribute. Supposed to be fun but we can't make it.

If I give you my name at will call, and they're ok with that, ... does anyone that can go, want them?

Most Hamsters already understand, this post is for the naysayers.

The quality of our collective future depends on the courage of our leaders, public and private.

Very few leaders are meeting the moment. They are choosing their own personal well-being (or that of their organization/institution) over that of the greater good.

Massive demonstrations show them what the right side of history is. Staying home sends the message that they should continue to nothing, or worse, capitulate to the regime.

The Seattle rally will get national attention, but the Bellingham rally is important too. We need our local leaders to stand up for our vulnerable community members. (Spoiler alert; we are all vulnerable.)

If you are unhappy with anything that has happened since January 20th, please suspend your pessimism for a few hours and pick a demonstration near you.

The pic is of Budapest a couple weeks ago…it’s time for us to step up.

Hoping this is allowed- has anyone else bought expect a miracle mushroom chocolate from smoke world on samish? I was sold this being told it contained penis envy psilocybin mushrooms and it’s definitely just regular chocolate. I paid $50 for this. I have experience with shrooms and though I haven’t had them in a couple months, the last time I had any was albino penis envy but it was just straight dried mushrooms. I ate 7 pieces of this chocolate bar which according to the back of the box was more than enough and it did absolutely nothing. And I mean nothing I kept waiting for it to do something, no giggles no come up NOTHING. it also tastes like regular chocolate. Please don’t waste your money on this shit.

Hello, as the title says I’m looking for some resources for help finding a roommate to join the other room in our (21M & 20F) 2BD, 1BT appartment. The rent would be $1,000/mo. for the other room (total rent is $2,100/mo.).

It’s a new place near WWU, we’re the second round to ever live here and ideally we want someone around our age, but the most important thing is they’re respectful of the space/relatively clean outside their room. We also have a polite cat. I’d be happy to provide more details :)

Anyone know of a restaurant that sells this in bellingham?

Huge crowd good vibes more was less infornt of city hall and more interesting then li rays backyard but still was awsome. Even stret he'd around the entire Block ❤️🇺🇲

I got the munchies and looked up Chinese food in Bellingham and its pretty overwhelming and i can't decide where to order from. I've had Xing's Panda Palace when i lived on Sunset and it was pretty damn good. Any other great spots?

My wife snapped these today - overall it was a great turnout at the rally!

So happy to see it back where it belongs

At first I thought my camera lens was dirty, but I could also see it in the sky. Kinda neat.

Great turn out, lots of fun. Heres a picture of the crowd

Heh heh, i k ew it was coming, but I wasn't expecting to see a new creature up in that tree so soon. I think it's a sloth? Anybody get a closer look? Same spot on I-5... lol, love you guys
